Next-Gen, High-Speed HBM, LPDDR Memory Subsystem ASIC Digital Design Engineer

Qualcomm, San Diego, CA, United States


Overview Company Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
Job Area: Engineering Group, Engineering Group > ASICS Engineering
General Summary Next Generation, High-Speed, Memory and Cache Controller and Advanced Memory NoCs based Subsystem Design Team is looking for a Senior ASIC Design Engineers for the next generation high speed HBM/LPDDR/DDR memory subsystems. The front end of the DDR controller interfaces to the rest of the system such as CPU, GPU, DSP, Multimedia Processors and the engineer is expected to be responsible for enabling high speed (1Ghz+) designs in QCT products.
The candidate will work on architecture, design (RTL coding), and deployment of the next generation, high-speed memory subsystems into QCT products. You will develop or contribute to the development of architecture and design specifications and drive the micro-architecture of portions of the logic design. You will implement and deliver RTL and work with verification engineers to deliver high quality designs. You will be responsible for debugging your designs and also provide debug support when integrated into the rest of the chip. Synthesis, Timing Closure, Physical Design Support, Gate Level Simulations, Power Analysis are expected to be key tasks. You will make regular contributions to the overall improvement in design methodology to drive productivity and quality of results.

Responsibilities Responsibilities are to architect, design (RTL coding), verify and deliver high-speed memory subsystem components (HBM/LPDDR/DDR) in ASICs, ensure interfaces to CPU, DSP, and multimedia processors, achieve high-speed designs (1Ghz+), support synthesis, timing closure, physical design, gate-level simulations, power analysis, and contribute to design methodology improvements.
